physics through time

Stephen Hawking
1. the effects of quantum physics make black holes shine like hot bodies, hence they lose some of their blackness. In 1976, following the enunciations of quantum physics, he concluded in his "radiation theory" that black holes are capable of emitting energy, losing matter and even disappearing.
2. (1942-2018)
Physics studies matter, its movement and its behavior within a given time and space.
Archimedes
1. (287-212 BC)
2. He was one of the first to apply math to physical phenomena, being the father of hydrostatics and discovering the buoyancy principle which bears his name.
Aristotle
1. Tried to stablish general principles that ruled the behavior of natural bodies, both living and inanimate, also celestial and terrestrial bodies applying concepts like motion, change of place, change of size or number, etc.
2. (384–322 BC)
Galileo Galilei
1. (1564-1642)
2. His experiments and studies of the motion of bodies were precursors of classical mechanics.
Isaac Newton
1. (1642-1726)
2. Stablished motion laws that now they have his last name and also the universal gravitation principles. He also contributed to optics and the development of calculus.
James Clerk Maxwell
1. (1831-1879)
2. Formulated the electromagnetic theory that unifies the concepts of electricity and magnetism known to that time. The equations that bear his last name are the foundation of the radio waves and other technological achievements.
Albert Einstein
1. (1879-1955)
2. Developed the theory of relativity, discovered the photoelectric effect and did contributions to the quantum theory.
